Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

Holiday cheer
The holiday's
Near, ya hear?
Celebrate with
Corks a-poppin'
Merriment and
Lots of hopping
Life is for the
Celebrant. Life
Is what we hail.
And a life fit and
Hale is hearty.
A heartfelt life.
One to cheer
And say hear-
Hear. Cheers
To that. To life.

Bor-ing

Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.

Boring, back pages stuff,
Man bites dog. Old hat not
News. Maybe true, maybe
Not. It happened once or
Maybe not. Mrs. Engel got
Married. Again. I think I
Once dated this new Mr.

Please come

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

You are invited to a grand fete.
Ok, a grandly pretentious one.
Bring the wine. Bring the hors
D'. Bring your spouse, and maybe
Your mother. Dinner will be at
Nine, but let's gather at seven
For cocktails and chit-chat and
So we can designate seating. It
Is a complicated affair. The Mc
Coys won't sit with the Capulets.
The Hatfields decline to dine
At the upper table with their
Arch enemies. Er, frenemies, I
Guess. Everyone will wear tails
And white tie. Lots of top hats
Will top heads. The ladies will
Shine in designer gowns from
RueLala, oolala, and Loehmans.
